The Oho Jees are natives of the Oho Oasis in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, its 3DS remake, and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. When spoken to, Oho Jees use broken grammar and say bizarre things. There are two varieties on the main island: red ones and blue ones. Two smaller islands south of Oho Oasis house two individual green and a purple Oho Jees, both of which have afros. Their name comes from oho (an onomatopoeia for laughter), as well as sounding like "Oh jeez", an expression used to show surprise or frustration.
History
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
According to a boombox recorded by an expedition group, one of the members was attacked by an Oho Jee, and was then transformed into one. However, they are not enemies by nature, and will not attack unprovoked. If the Red or Blue Oho Jees are hurt by either Firebrand or Thunderhand respectively, they will become wild and face Mario and Luigi in battle.
At the beginning of a battle, Oho Jees will have 75 HP (54 in the remake), and their only attack is spinning wildly at the brothers, which can be countered by jumping on them. Blue Oho Jees will spin quickly in a diamond pattern, while Red Oho Jees will spin slowly in a circle. It is possible for Mario or Luigi to fight them alone, in which case their sole damaging attack will always miss. Red Oho Jees are healed by Firebrand and are weak to Thunderhand, while Blue Oho Jees are healed by Thunderhand and are weak to Firebrand.
The Oho Jees often act strangely in battle: they may run away and, if they are unable to escape, come back saying "I no believe!"; they may hum a song, which slightly heals the brothers; or they may say something nonsensical, which wastes a turn for them. If they are healed too much, they will inflate like a balloon before blasting off like a rocket, causing the battle to end with no experience gained; if this happens, they will no longer be in their aggravated state of being back in the overworld. After they are defeated by the brothers, they will lay on the ground for a moment, pretending to be gravely injured, only to jump back up and say a random quip.
In the Minion Quest mode of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, two orange and green Oho Jees participate in Wendy's "Cutie Battle Contest" as part of a team with the three recurring Gwarhar Lagoon residents known as "The Insane Sisters".
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey
In the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, red and blue Oho Jees make appearances as enemies in The Omega-onion?! which takes place in Cavi Cape; a red Oho Jee blocks Morton from collecting the Omega-onion, so Bowser Jr. fights multiple Oho Jees to obtain it. The Oho Jee is also briefly mistaken to be the Omega-onion. One red Oho Jee also appears in The Best Beast as the captain of the level's third round.

As mentioned by the boombox on the Oho Oasis, it was a team of outsiders calling themselves the "Oho Civilization Research Expedition" that discovered and named the species. One of the Oho Jees within a temple expresses confusion at their naming designation, suggesting that they do not accept it. Aside from naming them, they were the ones to make the discovery that red Oho Jees who were lit on fire would turn into monsters and attack after accidentally setting one on fire. Upon being attacked by said red Oho Jee, one of the members of the expedition team was subsequently transformed into an Oho Jee. Their ability to turn other people into Oho Jees is not acknowledged again outside of this dialogue. Their songs seemingly have healing qualities, as Mario and Luigi can both be healed if the Oho Jee sings during battle. The expedition team's last tape recording mentions that they planned on experimenting on the blue Oho Jees next, hypothesizing that they must have their own trigger of sorts like the red ones do.
Although never explicitly stated or shown, it is implied that Oho Jees shed their skin, as the description to the Oho Jee Wear states it is made from their molted skins. In the original Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, they are shown to have legs, but the remake only shows feet with no legs, similar to Goombas or Toads. The artwork to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions shows them as having brown shoes that look much like the ones Toads wear, but their in-game sprites do not reflect that.
